Animal Kingdom celebrated Earth Day yesterday (on it’s 12th anniversary). I arrived early (below left and right), hoping to see the updated morning show – but it was canceled.

Rafiki’s Planet Watch/Conservation Station was the setting for much of the Earth Day activities (below left and right).

The theme “Earth Day/Party for the Planet” was posted in a number of places, and there were posters and buttons commemorating DisneyNature’s Oceans film (as well as posters for the upcoming DisneyNature films). I received a button for adding to the poster (below, right) an idea of what I’d do to help save the planet.

We missed Jiminy Cricket, but Rafiki was making appearances while we were there (below, left). PIPA the talking recycling bin entertained guests as well (below, right).

I am currently working on my next project “Jeff Lange Remembers: Disney-MGM Studios Classics – Vol 1” featuring an opening year Tram Tour, Here Come the Muppets – Live on Stage, The Great Movie Ride, The original Studio Showcase, Star Today Ceremony, The Soundstage Restaurant in all it’s incarnations (including the Catwalk Bar) and more!

Disneyland’s Light Magic and One Man’s Dream:

Jeff Lange brings you vintage footage from two completely different but unique elements of Disneyland history!

Light Magic replaced the popular Main Street Electrical Parade, but ended after only 4 months in 1997. Two different vantage points – from the Small World mall and Main Street USA – give you a complete look at Light Magic!

One Man’s Dream was a beloved stage show that also ran for 4 months in 1990 before making way for Dick Tracy’s Diamond Double Cross. Performed at the Videopolis theater, this show celebrated the remarkable imagination of Walt Disney. This is a show not to be missed!

Remember Christmas 2009 (2006-2008 & Classics Also Available):

Walt Disney World Vintage Footage:
